Millennium Hilton, end of story
Serious? Being rebuilt as part of the ground zero rebuild? Not yet completed. Really?
Seeing as I stayed there in August of 2010, I disagree with you
what area do you want to be in? and how nice are we talking?
The closer to the Theater District and Times Square the better. Half a mile away is OK but not much farther than that.
the wife and i stayed here one time:

it was a nice hotel but our room wasn't very large which didn't matter to us since we only slept there. it wasn't very expensive and it is right near times square.
this is another nice hotel near times square (but we haven't been there yet):

there's also the marriott marquis which is literally in times square. closer to wicked there is the sheraton and the hilton.

my wife and i stayed at a hotel right in times square pretty much, and was like $600 for 3 nights after a hotels.com discount i had.
it was a tiny place but it was very modern on the inside and a really nice hotel. but like i said, it was very small.
it was fine for what we needed though because we were not in our room much at all.

EDIT: i see someone beat me to it by a few minutes heh.
The library hotel looks nice. It's $350/night though.
I would say all hotels in NYC are priced fairly... high.
iirc, i recommended this hotel to you when you posted a thread very similar to this one
hah that may very well be the case.
hotel is in a prime location though, can't get a better location that that.
Thanks for the ideas.
I guess what I am trying to avoid is a place with plain boring rooms that are not to small. I've stayed at a very inexpensive place in NYC once but the room had almost no decorations. It was very plain. It was also the smallest hotel room that i have ever seen. It was about half the size of any room that I'd term typical (200-250 sqft). This room was probably 140 sqft including hte bathroom area. I just want a bit more than that. I don't care for a suite but a bigger room would be nice.
What would be very nice is something that is victorian themed (including the rooms)

UPDATE:I am planning a weekend getaway for my wife. Got tickets for Wicked. Now I have to find a hotel. I really want a hotel in NYC with an in room jacuzzi that fits 2 people. It's hard to find on the internet though. Does anyone know of a hotel that has this in NYC?
what are you guys doing for the rest of the weekend?
Most of the time is not at the hotel. Wicked is hte ionly thing planned right now. I have 2 months to figure out the filler though.
